Jeremiah 14:1-6
1599 Geneva Bible
14 1 Of the death that should come. 7 The prayer of the people asking mercy of the Lord. 10 The unfaithful people are not heard. 12 Of prayer, fasting, and of false prophets that seduce the people.
1 The word of the Lord that came unto Jeremiah, concerning the [a][b]dearth.
2 Judah hath mourned, and the gates thereof are desolate, they have been [c]brought to heaviness unto the ground, and the cry of Jerusalem goeth up.
3 And their nobles have sent their inferiors to the water, who came to the wells, and found no water: they returned with their vessels empty: they were ashamed and confounded: and [d]covered their heads.
4 For the ground was destroyed, because there was no rain in the earth: the plowmen were ashamed, and covered their heads.
5 Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook [e]it, because there was no grass.
6 And the wild asses did stand in the high places, and drew in their wind like [f]dragons: their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.
